Each character will awaken in a room with another character and will be missing their journals. Each will have their own very comfortable twin bed. The Room is comfortably accommodated and should the subject look into the closets of bureau they will find clothing appropriate to their sense of style and size. Each room has it's own bathroom complete with toilet, tub and shower. Each bathroom is stocked with products the character would be familiar with.

The doors to the five bedrooms all open into a large common area which includes a television (no cable; just a large collection of assorted movies and an X-Box with an assortment of games); a bookcase with various titles and genres; a large sectional sofa; a dining table; and a large kitchen. The Kitchen will have an induction cooktop stove; a large refrigerator; various appliances and copious amounts of fresh foods. The style of this room is contemporary but comfortable. The floors are carpeted and everything is modern.

Clearly, this room is intended to make the subjects comfortable. Conspicuously absent: Windows.

There is an area which is clearly a door; however, it has no handle from the inside. Over this door is a large blue sign "Departure Point." A sign on the door indicates the following.

"Thank you for your participation here at Vas Captio. This area is intended for your use and comfort. Please be mindful to be clean and courteous as this room will be occupied shortly after you leave. Further instructions as to your departure will be included as they become more final. Thank you for your patience."

"It's fine. Please take all the time you need," L said, already starting to busily search for cameras. This sort of thing made him feel like he was back home, and oddly, even something as high-stress as feeling watched almost made him relax a bit. His life was such a tangle, lately, with Laura flickering in and out, and Jenny... he still couldn't believe that he'd kissed Jenny yesterday. He thought about her, and wondered if she knew what was happening. He knew that she'd be glad to see him with clean clothes and a shower, but he still felt guilty, to be treated so well when so many others in Vas were still doing without.

"I'm L," he answered, knowing that they'd spoken before over journals. She'd probably read both good and bad things about him, but that was true for everyone here, wasn't it?

"Nice to meet you properly, L," Sarah Jane said, grinning at him. She gave him a wave and ducked back into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her. Not that she thought L would try and open it; she always locked the door at home. She always had done.

Having a proper, hot shower for the first time in days was glorious. Sarah Jane would have loved to spend ages in the shower, but since L was waiting for his turn, she kept her luxuriating to a minimum. She was amazed that their captors had set out not just one, but two sets of product - she recognized the bottles she kept at home, and assumed the others were ones L used. Why were their captors going to such lengths to make them comfortable? It didn't make much sense. Unless, of course, they were only doing it to make everyone drop their guard. Well, that wouldn't work on her. Sarah was nothing if not cautious, especially when she had people other than herself to look after.

About twenty minutes after she'd locked the door, she emerged from the bathroom, fully dressed in her new clothing, scrubbing her damp hair with a towel. "Your turn," she said, scanning the room for L.

While Sarah Jane had been in the shower, L had searched high and low in the bedroom for any sign of a camera. To his mixed disappointment and relief, he couldn't find one... maybe this wasn't such a cruel experiment, after all.

He could smell something cooking, and ventured outside the room. Apparently, whatever quarters they'd been placed in not only had other bedrooms, but a common area and a kitchen. He could hear voices coming from both areas, and realized that he and Sarah Jane weren't alone. Judging by the murmurs of conversation, there were at least eight others in this place.

He was back to take his shower by the time Sarah Jane finished and emerged looking clean, well-dressed, and groomed. He had found a pair of jeans, one of many white shirts, and light grey boxers that looked just like the ones he wore back home. A slight floral scent surrounded Sarah Jane when she came out... how long had it been since he'd smelled shampoo? It was very pleasant. "Ah... right. I've done some poking around, and there are other people here... and someone is cooking." L nodded, ducking his head as he slipped past Sarah Jane and into the warm, steamy bathroom. It wasn't that he wanted to get rid of her... just that he preferred people to be otherwise occupied while he did anything at all in a bathroom.

The mirror was fogged up, but L caught a glimpse of his pale face and nearly jumped out of his skin. He had lost weight. That was surely true for everyone, but it wasn't flattering on L's already-gaunt frame. He reached toward his face, stunned that he could actually see bones. Shedding his well-worn clothes (looser than they'd been when he'd arrived), he stepped into the shower. He could feel the sweat and grime slip away in the hot water, glad that he was finally starting to feel clean. He'd showered, before, of course, at the gym, but somehow, it was always miserable rather than refreshing. Despite the water heater that Kaylee had fixed up, the water was often cold. He enjoyed the heat and vanilla-scented soap for about as long as Sarah had before emerging and heading to the kitchen.
